The department of Gender, Women and Health (GWH) at the World Health Organization brings attention to the ways in which biological and social differences between women and men affect health and the steps needed to achieve health equity.
The main focus of GWH is to promote the inclusion of gender perspectives in the work of the WHO by collaborating with other departments and regional and country offices. Key areas of interest include: gender mainstreaming; gender-based violence; gender and HIV/AIDS.
The website contains publications about gender and health, and links to related resources.
